Hello RogerTra

I am using the EZ Trac Nickel Silver track with gray ballast.
If that is the case with the two smallest cars in my consist what possibly could be the issue?
The cars came with the Train set I purchased which is the Sante Fe Warbonnet that also came
with another Sante Fe loco - the blue one.

At first they seemed to run fine but then developed problems.

I also had a Concor flatbed with logs keep derailing but that turned out to be a defective coupler - once I repaired that
it has been running great.

Thanks for the response.

Hello -
I seem to have alot of derailments especially with my caboose and a small coal car.  I was talking to another railroader and he had the same problem.  When he returned his track and got turnouts with steel frogs he has not had any derailments.  

Is there an issue with the plastic frogs on turnouts such that maybe they are not level, stable, etc?

I would like to stop the derailments.  I currently have two left and two right turnouts and they are all plastic with the same problem.

Thanks again for the help.

Hello - I recently purchased an InterMountain loco ES40DC and cannot seem to change the loco address from the default of #3.  I am using an EZ Trak DCC Control Center and according to InterMountain I cannot change the address using it.   

Does anyone have any ideas without being too technical as I am a newbie just getting into model railroading as I approach retirement?

Please respond to garyh2104@gmail.com since I cannot always get to the message board.

Thanks again

Gary
